A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my boyfriend and I spent almost $500 adopting a senior cat and buying everything we needed to take care of him. He died 6 hours later. FML

Good boy
Today, my dog was diagnosed with a torn ACL. This costs $1500-$2500 to treat. Three months ago, he had heart worms. That cost $1400 to treat. I adopted this dog from a shelter four months ago to help relieve some of my stress and anxiety. I don't feel any less stressed or anxious. FML

All I want for Christmas is free healthcare
Today, I’ve been battling an aggressive form of cancer for the past 3 years. Due to the financial strain, I started a GoFundMe. I’m grateful for what I got, but a friend also started one for her dog’s surgery and got thousands of dollars. Guess the dog is more important than my kids having a mom. FML

Today, I took my dog to the vet because he hadn't eaten his food in three days, was drinking a lot of water, and was peeing a lot (all signs of antifreeze poisoning). I spent $200 at the vet to tell me that my dog is fine and just didn't like his current food. FML

Today, I splurged thousands of dollars on the breed of dog that I've loved since I was a kid from a reputable breeder. He is allergic to all food except the 24lb food for $70 and has sensitivities galore, including a seizure from a shot. I've spent $5,000 in vet bills in the first week. FML

Bottom line
Today, I had to put my cat to sleep after she was in an accident. While I was crying hysterically, the vet asked me for $230. FML

Sorry for your loss
Today, I was absolutely crucified online for asking the vet’s office how much it would cost to put my dog down. She's terminally ill. FML

You owe me $5, kitty
Today, my cat was hit by a car. I took it to the vet expecting the worst but they told me that she’d be fine. I was so happy I didn't even mind paying the $50 bill. The next morning my cat was dead. Having her put down humanely would have cost $45, I paid $5 extra to have her die in my kitchen. FML

This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff

Brief encounter
Today, I decided to adopt a 11 year-old dog that had been in need of a home for several months. Two hours after I got him home, I discovered him dead in the backyard. FML

Boo ******* hoo, some guy took his own hard earned money and paid for something they care about's health instead of listening to some dumb **** on the internet and giving it to charity. What about people who spend hundreds of thousands more to buy a bigger house, even though they don't really a house that big? Shouldn't they have given their money to charity? What about billionaires who spend their money on playboy bunny slaves? How many little African kids would you save if he gave all his money to charity? Face it you dumb *****, giving your money to charity is an option, stop making it seem like this guy was obligated to do it just because he spent money on his dog. You know what else people do? They spend loads of money buying food for their dogs! And pfft, we ALL know dogs don't need food! They should have spend that money on some poor kids in Africa with AIDS to let them live a few more days even though they're already on death row because no amount of money even in your stupid ******* idealistic bubble could save them all. Grow the **** up.

Whoever would spend 15000 on a DOG deserves this.

I'm sorry to hear that. I know I love my dog more than some of my family. I would in all seriousness have a mental breakdown if my dog died, because there seems to be a binding effect to an animals innocence. The only consolation I can give is at least there is no more pain.

that's sooo sad, I'm soooooo sorry!

I'm sorry, OP. Obviously you love your dog very much. Your pet is in a better place now... Maybe they knew it was their time and wanted to save you any additional cost in trying to save them? Either way, your dog was lucky to have you as an owner!

I am so, so sorry. A similar thing happened to my family and me, only we didn't know what the hell he had (liver cancer and God knows what else) until the day he died, so we basically spent beaucoup bucks trying to figure out what he had as opposed to intensively treating it. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Maybe your dog and mine are frolicking together, healthily, for what little consolation that's worth.

To all of you saying he was should have spent it buying a new dog or donating to someone who hasn't earnt it grow up! Some people consider their dogs family and have been with them a long time. Would you do it to save someone you considered family? OP didn't want to just go and replace an important part of his life. And they earnt their money by working hard so they can spend it in whatever they want!

Look on the bright side. It could make a lovely stew
